Cats are said to be, “purr-fect companions”…and they are. From their instinctive purring to brushing up against us, cats provide a level of love unique to their species. Their constant cleaning, speaking (meowing), playing, and independence make them a unique part of family life.

The relationship between humans and cats dates back at least 10,000 years (according to alleycat.org), but indoor cats as family members haven’t been common until 70 years ago. As hunters, they keep unwanted critters out of our homes. As playmates, they bring a unique joy into our lives. As independent creatures, they can handle our busy lives better than many pets. And as snugglers, they connect with humans through the release of oxytocin - the bonding hormone.

Cheers to our feline friends and all of their owners! And yes, have a very, merry catmas.

Winter weather can be hard on paws. If they dry out, they can crack, split, and hurt. Just as human skin gets dry from our heaters running, pets can experience a similar situation. Add to this the exposure to snow, ice, rain, and cold ground, and our pets can experience significant discomfort.

A paw-pad treatment is important for the comfort and health of your pets.

Some dog breeds like Alaskan Malamutes, Huskies, and Saint Bernards are more comfortable as the temperature drops. Although many dogs will be more comfortable with a coat or sweater to protect them from the elements. Dogs who are rather young, older, or have a physical disability that prevents their warmth should bundle up before heading outside in the cold of winter. Opt for a warm sweater if it’s a dry cold. Or, if it’s rainy or snowy out, a rain-slicker or a water-resistant coat.

Visit a dog-friendly pumpkin patch.

This should be a quintessential autumn tradition for every family. Just make sure the farm is dog-friendly before you head out. After your trip, get your pumpkin-carving tools ready to go! You can carve out their paw, face, name, etc.

Bake Pumpkin Doggie Treats

Did you know pumpkins are great for your dog? It’s true! We have plenty of pumpkin dog-friendly treat recipes on our website. Find one that your pet will love!

Play Pile Of Leaves

Raking up a gigantic pile of leaves is a great way to spend some outdoor time with your pup. Place your dog’s favorite toys in the pile to encourage them and prove it’s safe, and don’t be afraid to jump in yourself!

Fall Photoshoot

Take your dog outside around the leaves, pumpkins, and decorations to get the perfect fall photos. Share the pictures with your friends, family, and fellow dog lovers. Who knows, your furry family member may become internet famous!

A Hike

Since the temperature is cooling down, it’s the perfect time to go hiking with your best friend. Enjoy the crisp autumn air as you view the beautiful fall colors.

Football Watch Party

We undeniably associate football with fall. To get in the football spirit, host a tailgate or watch party on game day and invite your friends and their pups over so both you and your dog can get some social time during the game.

Many pet owners are surprised to find out natural predators roam the streets of cities, towns, and suburbs. These can include coyotes, owls, eagles, rodents, and more. Depending on your pet’s instincts, size, and personality, they may be both predator and prey. If your pet is also a predator, they can be hurt attacking a wild animal. If your pet is the prey, they could be injured or killed. Here are some tips for predator-proofing your property.

Did you get a new pup recently? Be patient with your new dog. Your dog is in a new environment with new people. This change can be overwhelming for your dog to get used to and they may be more on edge. Be calm and patient with the transition and allow your dog time to adjust.

1. Urban agility. Urban Agility is parkour for your dog. Most dogs love going on a walk around the block. But, for our high-energy pups, adding a greater amount of physical activity will tire them out far more than a simple walk might. Urban agility can include: jumping up on a bench, placing their paws up on top of a fire hydrant or fence, leaping from one surface. The world is their gym!

2. A Bike Ride. Before you consider taking your dog on a ride around the neighborhood, check with your vet to make sure your dog can handle the activity. In addition, riding a bike while holding a leash can be dangerous for you and your doggo. There are many products you can purchase that attach to bikes to ensure their safety. Be sure to do your research before you hop on the bike.

3. Weighted Vest. If your goal is to tire your pup out before you leave the house, take them out to dinner, or make their night sleep easier, adding some extra weight can be a useful option. Although you must be careful that you are adding a safe amount of weight. The general rule of thumb is 10% of your dog’s total body weight. For instance, 5 lb. of weight for a 50 lb. dog.

4. Nosework exercises. You can do a nosework exercise with your dog just about anywhere. In the park, outside your home, or in the living room. Dogs sniffing out a treat or toy give them a job. Like their human friend, giving them jobs really tires them out. Look into the shell game (placing a treat underneath 3 or more cups and have them sniff out which is the lucky cup) or a treasure hunt of treats and toys around the house.

5. Trick Training. Trick training is a fun way to engage your dog’s physical capability, and tire them out mentally. Some obvious tricks you can teach your dog are: shake, fetch, rollover, twirl, and hug. If your dog knows most of these commands, try more advanced tricks or games like hide-and-seek, stand tall, shut the door, fetch the newspaper, and weave the poles.

Walking without waste bags means leaving a mess in your neighborhood. People often make excuses for leaving their pet waste. However, most of us have a level of annoyance when we either “step in it” or deal with it on our own property.

Here are a few facts to remember:

Dog waste bags cost an average of six cents each on Amazon or even in pet stores. It’s a small price to pay for a clean neighborhood and good relationships.
If you leave your doggie droppings, remember that someone has to clean it up eventually. Taking care of your pet means taking care of their waste.
If everyone left their droppings around, everyone would be “stepping in it” – and it wouldn’t take too long for everyone to notice.
One reason you should clean up as you go has to do with lawn care. One lawn specialist noted:
“In addition to nitrogen burn, dog p**p can kill your grass in a more roundabout way: It can cause lawn fungus to grow. Many fungal lawn diseases will kill your lawn if they have a chance to spread.”

Walk your dog with waste bags, pick it up as you go, and everyone will appreciate the effort you’ve made. Being a true dog lover includes neighborhood care and concern.
